Hello, my name is Madeleine Bolz and I am a graduate-level composition assistant with a Master of Music in Composition from Southern Methodist University and a Bachelor of Music in Horn Performance from Northern Illinois University. My academic and professional work includes international study and performances in Vienna, Paris, and across the United States, as well as international presentations in musicology at the graduate level.
I bring over six years of teaching experience in both private and public educational settings, working with students ranging from kindergarten through graduate-level musicians. I specialize in horn, music composition, music theory, aural skills, music fundamentals, and music history.
My teaching approach is highly individualized and goal-oriented. I work closely with each student—and parents when applicable—to develop a personalized curriculum that supports their unique learning style and musical goals. Lessons include structured materials, practice assignments, and consistent progress check-ins to ensure steady growth and long-term success.
In addition to teaching, I have extensive experience in performance, composition, and audio production, which allows me to offer a well-rounded and practical approach to music education.

Approved Subjects

Composition (Music)

Composition (Music)

I am a graduate assistant in Music Composition with international performance experience and a strong background in both academic and applied music settings. I am affiliated with the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP), supporting my professional work as a composer. I have extensive teaching experience in composition, orchestration, and core musicianship skills, including music theory, aural skills, and fundamentals. My approach focuses on building a strong technical foundation while helping students develop their own creative voice through personalized instruction.
Ear Training

Ear Training

I completed a semester-long course in Advanced Musicianship, focusing on sight singing, score reading, and performing multiple musical lines simultaneously through both singing and instrumental performance. This training strengthened my ability to understand music both vertically (harmonically) and horizontally (melodically), allowing for a deeper and more integrated comprehension of musical structure and theory. I apply these skills in my teaching to help students develop strong listening, reading, and analytical abilities.
French Horn

French Horn

I acquired my Bachelors of Music in Horn Performance from Northern Illinois University in 2019, after studying under Dr. Kelly Langenberg. Since then, I have taught private French Horn lessons to students ranging from middle school to high school, emphasizing musicianship, fundamentals, and musical expression.
